Defeating Eating Disorders
Understanding, Support, Recovery Together
Our emotions heavily impact our digestive organs. SHEN has been significantly effective with Anoxia, Bulimia, and other gastrointestinal disorders.
First Case Example.
History. Typical bingeing/purging phases. Low back Pain. Kleptomaniac since age 14. Resistant to psychotherapy and biofeedback.

Several SHEN treatments. First, there was a lessening of back pain and a noticeable increase in range of motion in one direction. Second treatment further increased the range of motion, pain ceased, and she had a memory of the last time she had been caught shoplifting. (This memory had been lost to her conscious mind.) Later treatment produced another memory, this one of an early life situation that contributed to the onset of the disorders.
She has had no further back pain, no physical complaints, and no episodes of eating and purging since her SHEN series.

Second Case Example:
History. Atypical Anorexia: Stopped weighing herself when weight dropped past 89 pounds (Height 5’7″). The parental relationship was distant, and she had no appetite. Seeing a psychologist. Had actively pursued appropriate psychotherapies and biofeedback without an effective result
The first SHEN treatment resulted in a series of significant, frightening dreams and a brief period of nausea. Her appetite reawakened and increased slowly over the subsequent few SHEN sessions. Her weight is now within normal, and the once complicated parental relationship, according to both patient and delighted parents, is now resolved. There has been no recurrence of anorexia. Indeed, she is often the first one at the table, sometimes being chided for not waiting for all to be seated before starting to eat.

Third Case Example:
History: Appetite loss following trauma
Severely burned during an auto accident. Six weeks following the accident, the patient had not regained her appetite. No internal organ injuries. Unable to do more than nibble at her food.
History: Appetite loss following trauma
Severely burned during an auto accident. Six weeks following the accident, the patient had not regained her appetite. No internal organ injuries. Unable to do more than nibble at her food.
Treatment: One hour after the first SHEN treatment, she ate a whole chicken breast, a few vegetables, and part of a piece of chocolate cake. Anger about the accident, which had never surfaced, began to emerge in her thoughts and dreams.
She was usually not very expressive and had suppressed anger on several occasions, as considerable anger emerged following the second SHEN session. (Part of the anger was toward her father, which she demonstrated through transference to the older, male SHEN Therapist who was treating her, by insisting that he had done everything wrong.) Her appetite rapidly improved to normal after the subsequent few treatments. The release of anger brought with it some valuable insights, which were absorbed.
Last Contact, 22 months after treatment. No recurrence of pain, and her appetite is normal.
